Motor mount improvements. My two goals were to 1. use ALL the existing/previous mounts in the compartment 2. have at least one mount connect to the large 1/2" bolt called "lift-eye" bolt in the center of the motor which is extremely strong. The other mount on the back of the motor has two holes and is strong also, but it is two aluminum 5/16" screw holes, probably about the same as one 1/2" steel mount. Plus the two spots are entirely separate functional parts of the motor, so I guess technically if the motor fell apart within itself both major pieces would remain connected to the frame? Seems like a remote bonus, hah.
Total of 4 mounts are in use now, two for motor and two for transmission. Since the motor and transmission are very secure together as one unit due to the plate and 5 bolts, the entire assembly has 4 mounts.

| Front motor mount, seems flimsy by itself but it provides front to back strength, an area which the other new mount is weakest in. Has some rubber on the motor connecting bolt (eye-lift bolt) |
 |
| This new motor mount is the strongest one and provides very strong side to side and up/down strength, has a small amount of rubber in there somewhere. |

| Bottom show of strongest mount. |

| This is an old shot of the wiring getting finished up from the controller to motor, the wood block is just to keep them from flopping around. |
